Hi all!! Only a few more days!!! Has anyone been watching the weather?? I refuse to look!!! After sailing 2 Modified Eastern Cruises due to hurricanes, I am hoping that we get to our Western destinations this time!!

Hi to everyone who hasn't left home yet! It has taken me quite a while to catch up on the goings-on here on our board. I feel so out of the loop this time around, but I guess that's what a 9 month old baby will do to you!

Only 2 days left to get everything packed, cleaned, animals boarded, etc, etc. And what am I doing???? PLAYING ON THE DIS!!!

Kathy, I refuse to look at the weather this time around as well!!! I figure if God wants me to go on a Western on the third try, then it will be so. If not, then I hope we don't go to San Juan again

You know, the last two cruises I had the noaa hurricane website bookmarked and started checking it daily about 3 weeks out. Maybe I jinxed us

Okay, I'm going to try to unplug myself and do some laundry! I'm sure I'll check in again before we leave Thursday a.m.!

Trip Advisor states No LoveBugs sighted in Orlando yet.

I guess we should be pretty safe at sea.

 

[American Scrapper]

OK, I am STILL doing laundry!!! Stacy, I feel the same as you...I am NOT going to look! I will probably not be on here much after today as I don't have much time left before Friday! See everyone soon!!!

Stacy, we check in around 2:00 on Friday. We'll leave a message when we arrive.

To all of you who are still here, hope your packing is going well? We leave Thursday a.m. for KWR. Hope everyone has a great cruise!

Checking the boards in between loads of laundry....

Isn't it ironic....we've been dying of heat here in NC all summer...record highs and more days over 90 degrees than any other year I believe. This week it cools down and the weather is gorgeous. And we're leaving to visit HOT HUMID climates! Oh well, I guess I can consider the past months of sweating training for cruise weather.

It's just so darn exciting, thinking that we're leaving soon!!!! Can't wait to meet everyone at 3pm poolside!

Kathy, we'll probably be at MGM Friday, so leave a msg with your room # and we'll ring your room when we get back. I'm not sure how late we'll be there.

Hello everyone- I am playing catch up again, trying to read posts. We have been in ATL since last week and I figure I should get home and get ready for our cruise!

Thank you too everyone on the well wishes for our unborn baby BOY. I am still trying to get use to the idea.

GL to everyone on surgeries.

Mike- glad everything turned out ok with Kathy, what a scare!

Marsha- I will pm you to get your cell # so I can meet everyone at the Residence Inn. Where are you meeting? The lobby? We don't get into MCO until 5:30ish so it will be a while before we get to the hotel (have to stop at the store first).

Otrbnks- How late are you all planning on being up Friday? Until the pizza and beer are gone??

Has anyone NOT started packing yet? I just started to do laundry 30 minutes ago. Better late than never.

Michelle we are leaving at 3am in the morning. Kathy loves to watch the sunrise as we are coming into Chattanooga. Only trouble is that she is usually sitting in the seat snoring when that happens Just started to pack a few thing yesterday as Kathy has been working 4 nights in a row including last night. Mike

That would be us. Today I am doing the laundry after the air conditioning guy leaves, but probably won't start packing until the morning. That way I will get a good nights sleep before panicking. There is a rumor that Florida and our stops have stores.... Imagine that...

Right now I am tearing apart my radio room looking for our Garmin registration code so I can update its maps before we leave. Not that finding Florida is hard; just get on 95 and keep going South.

Jordan had her surgery without incident and is recovering nicely. Can't wait to see her in a week or so.

...Has anyone NOT started packing yet?

We haven't!!! There's a pile of clothes in the spare room awaiting my perusal but I haven't felt the urgency to work thro' it yet - maybe this afternoon..?

...There is a rumor that Florida and our stops have stores.... Imagine that...

Noooo!!!! Next you'll be telling me that there are retail outlets on the Magic too!!!

...Jordan had her surgery without incident and is recovering nicely. Can't wait to see her in a week or so...

Good to hear, Bob...

Mike- you be careful driving and enjoy the beautiful sunrise even if you are the only one awake.

Everyone else who is driving also be careful! We are flying out of Nashville Friday afternoon so we'll see everyone at the Residence Inn or on the ship.

 

[CustardTart]

Safe journey, everyone!

Looking forward to meeting you all v-e-r-y soon.

 

[owtrbnks]

Just a few hours to go!!!

Michelle - We'll be hangin' at the Gatehouse (area just off the lobby where you'd sit for breakfast). I'll try to save a beer for you and your DH. Hard to say how long we'll be there, maybe you could call Marsha with an ETA after you've shopped and let her know how far away you are . We're usually up 'til at least Midnite, but might poop out earlier because we've got to be up by 4 AM Friday to fly down. DW and I will have alien green mickey pins on and I'll be the fortysomething bald guy!

Well, I'm back from my business trip. I did read the boards a bit over the last couple days. But for some reason I couldn't get signed on through my laptop, so I couldn't post.

Ann, I hope you are having a trip of a lifetime. Three cruises back to back must be awesome. Has the weather been good? I guess we'll find out when we get there.

We'll be leaving in a few hours. So I guess we will see everyone on Saturday. Everyone be safe!
